It's a scam to get people to register with the agency - I've seen 6 or seven ads with almost identical wording it various locations around the country while I've been searching of late.

If it is as laughable as some of the jobs up here asking the earth and then offering the likes of £17k for a job worth 26+

[digit]

I guess around £28k - £35k? Seems to me like the candidate would be a bit of a dogs body running about doing everything.

I think you are correct with that.

Watch out for Senitor Associates, they seem to be the worst for it.

I'm saying around £26k, definitely sub £30k. They typically want this kind of role to be a jack of all trades, but I agree the agency are probably "trolling" (if that's the right word!).

I was once offered a job runing a consultancy for a guy. It had about 40 clients and he wanted me to take over and run it 100% for him.

He offered me £18,000 I actually laughed at him.

[scruffy]

Is that what people think a *NIX admin is worth these days? Right, the time has come to don a tie and ascend the ranks of the project management ladder. It's a dark day!

You think that is bad, I saw an identical job advertised in the centre of Newcastle for £12980 going up to £13998 after a year xD

[directhex]

Back when I graduated, I saw a great one

Developer job, central London, 3 years' experience, 3 fluent languages (English plus a European language plus an east-Asian language)... £17.5

[Zadock]

Thats crazy, I get paid more than that and I'm a tree hugger! I always thought that IT was a better paid industry, all these adverts on the tv "get IT training and earn £30k"... looks like you'd be lucky to get anythign close to that without a degree or masters in it.
